What's your dream infield?

Here's a great talker from MLB Network.

I'll go first.

1B - Pujols

2B - Morgan

SS - Ripken

3B - Arenado 

[lecroy24fan]

1B- Gehrig

2B - Carew

SS - H. Wagner

3B - B. Robinson

[Jocko87]

Leaning defense, they’ll hit enough. 

Gehrig

R Alomar

Ozzie Smith

Mike Schmidt 

[dxpavelka]

Gehrig, Hornsby, Schjmidt, Wagner.

 

[JD-TWINS]

Going for a lead runner, then a bit of power:

Eddie Mathews - Ernie Banks - Rod Carew - Harmon Killebrew are my infield favorites.

[chpettit19]

1B- Pujols
2B- Carew
3B- Cabrera
SS- Rodriguez

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I do think the young A-Rod wins shortstop, hands down.

Things that came later in his career kind of worked against him. 

Here would be my infield, if I were to prioritize recency, and defense over offense: 

3B Arenado

SS Vizquel

2B Alomar

1B …. drum roll …. Dougie baseball 

never saw him miss a single scoop. 

[TwinsDr2021]

1B -Musial

2b - Hornsby

ss - AROD

3b - Schmidt

OR

1B -AK

2b - Lewis

ss - Correa

3b - Lee

[Vanimal46]

1B - Joey Gallo

That’s all I need for my dreams to be fulfilled.

3rd- Brooks Robinson

ss- ozzie smith

2b- Jackie Robinson

1b- Killebrew

1B George Sisler It was Sisler's record 257 hits in a season that Ichiro broke in 2004. He was thought to be among the best fielding first basemen of all time before his vision declined from an infection. He also hit as high as .420 one year, with what was considered good power in the dead ball era. 

2B Rogers Hornsby  He averaged over .400 for a five year period. Incredible hitter, less than incredible personality according to stories.

SS John Henry "Pop" Lloyd (Note: MLB now considers Negro League play to have been major league.) Babe Ruth reputedly thought Lloyd to the best player ever. Was he the Black Honus Wagner, or was Wagner the White Pop Lloyd?

3B Brooks Robinson The only one I saw live. All the great modern defensive third basemen are in his shadow--he could dominate a game or series from the hot corner. And he was a deadly clutch hitter, the MVP in 1964, and a first ballot Hall of Famer. He played so many great games against our Twins!
